Tripleproof Moonshine
Tripleproof Moonshine is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived from the genetics of Blue Moonshine. Ideally suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, the plant requires a moderate level of grower expertise and typically reaches maturity after a 70-day flowering cycle. It is a high-yielding strain that has successfully contributed to subsequent breeding lines, most notably as a parent to the offspring known as Grendel.
The chemical composition of Tripleproof Moonshine is defined by a complex terpene profile dominated by pinene, followed by myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. The secondary and tertiary tiers of this profile include ocimene and beta-pinene, supported by humulene, linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, and nerolidol. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds provides the sensory foundation of the strain, influencing its characteristic scent and flavor profile.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Tripleproof Moonshine is primarily utilized for its ability to induce creative, uplifted, and euphoric effects. These properties make it a viable option for users seeking to enhance creative output, maintain focus, or engage in social settings. Its documented ability to influence mental clarity and mood highlights its utility for daytime performance and interaction.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
